Good gifts.

December 2

Good gifts. Luke 11: 13 (NIV) 13 "If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him." It's my hearts desire, that you may receive the Holy Spirit when you seek Him with all your heart. In receiving the Holy Spirit into your own life, you now have the opportunity of magnifying the Lord. In what way, by making the Lord Jesus manifested in our lives. How? We must become obedient, and we must stay loyal to the Lord Jesus. In Psalm 34 verse 3, we reminded to magnify the Lord and exalt His name together. You will receive good gifts from the Lord when you ask Him. As you focused on these words today, may the Holy Spirit touch your heart and soul. With praises and worship we are able to draw near to the Lord. One of the gifts I would love to have is a gift of prophetic messages. So that I may encourage other people on my way. In 1 Corinthians 14 verses 3, Paul says there are three things a prophetic word must have: "But he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation, and comfort to men." Once you hear a prophetic the best way to discern that it is a good word. It should have the following: did it edify, encourage, or comforted you today. Holy Spirit it is my hearts desire to receive the good gifts from the LORD. I know it cannot be done without You Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit I know You want to work through me, here I am please use me to be someone who encourages and blesses. Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy. 1` Corinthians 14: 1 Prayer O Lord, as we come to You today, we pray to ask that You will give us the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit, thank You for using us to bring words of encouragement and comfort to others through prophecy. Thank You that all children of God can speak or receive a prophetic word. Speak through me today. In Jesus' name, Amen

Spirit filled life

December 1 A Spirit-Filled Life. John 14:18 (NLV) Jesus Tells of His Death

18 “I will not leave you without help as children without parents. I will come to you.” We need a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus. The best way to know Him is through the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is one with the Father God and the Lord Jesus, and forms part of the Godhead. When we know the Lord Jesus Christ the Holy Spirit is with us and He is our helper. In difficult times the Holy Spirit is with us and is our comforter. A spiritfilled life is what we all are striving for. Without the Holy Spirit we cannot function as mature christians. In studying the Word of God each day, we was our souls with the Word. It cleanse us and gives the Holy Spirit the ability to speak to us. Stay connected by ready and studying the Bible. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you today. Prayer Thank You, Father God, for the Word that is available to us each day. Thank You, God that we can come to You in prayer. We want to pray for our own lives and the lives of our family and friends. Lord, without the Holy Spirit we cannot get through the day. Holy Spirit, You are welcome in our lives today. Thank You, for the knowledge that You still hear our prayers. Give us wisdom and insight and unerstanding. Guidance for our plans and thoughts today we pray in Jesus Christs name. Amen
